Downtown West Minneapolis Real Estate

The Downtown West neighborhood is within the greater Central Community right in the heart of Minneapolis. This oddly shaped neighborhood is bounded by the Mississippi River, 12th Street, Third Avenue North, Washington Avenue North, Hennepin Avenue, Portland Avenue, Fifth Street South and Fifth Avenue South.

Though only a small portion of this neighborhood is dedicated to residential housing, it is growing steadily. In recent years many old warehouses and commercial buildings have been converted into loft spaces and modern apartments around Minneapolis. Downtown West is the heart of the Twin Cities metro, with many office towers, busy malls and shopping centers, great places to dine and theaters.

The downtown area is home to the Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Timberwolves and the Minnesota Lynx. There is more than enough professional sports for one to take in year-round. The neighborhood also has easy access to the Minnesota highway system which makes getting around the Twin Cities so simple.

Also, don't forget about the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes which lies to the west. This area is one of the most beloved in all of Minnesota and offers Minneapolis residents endless water activities.
